What this part means

The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.

Its job in the formula

A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula

Fact. Relief on the memory axis is being engineered and is partly scheduled. The HBM4 standard released in April 2025 specifies up to 8 Gb/s across a 2048-bit interface for up to 2 TB/s per stack, doubling the independent channels per stack relative to HBM3 [ 18 ] . Whether the relief keeps pace with gFg_F is the open question, not whether relief exists.
